Even though correct name and pictures of place we wanted to go was shown, led us on a 1.5hr journey to the middle of nowhere

Appli parfaite!

Quelle merveille cet app, on a adoré! Déjà ça fonctionne tout le temps, partout en Corée du Sud. La géolocalisation est hyper précise, on sait exactement quand notre bus arrive, on peut choper des idées de visites ou de restos bien notés, etc. Je rêve d’avoir ça à Paris
